On September 26, 1992, John McCulley, aged 34, went missing in Bazetta Township, Ohio. He was last seen after failing to keep several scheduled appointments, prompting concern from his girlfriend. McCulley worked as the manager of All Souls Cemetery in Bazetta, and after he did not return home from work, a search began. His vehicle was found at the cemetery, but there were no signs of McCulley himself.
Approximately three weeks later, on October 17, 1992, McCulley's body was discovered by a hunter in the woods behind All Souls Cemetery. He had been shot to death, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and death remain unsolved. The Bazetta Police Department has been the lead agency investigating his homicide, but no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified.
John McCulley's case remains one of several unsolved homicides in Ohio. Local law enforcement, in collaboration with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), continues to seek any information that could lead to new developments. Authorities encourage anyone with potential details to come forward, as solving this case would provide much-needed closure for McCulley's family and loved ones.
